Hey lovelies!

How are you all? ♥ Were you, too watching Oscars on Sunday? What do you think about the outfits, the winners, the show, etc.?

I was - before I fell asleep. Not that it's boring, no, I love the whole show and all, but 4:00 in morning kinda got to me. Oh, well, at least I saw the OTCR part. (The ABC one, with awkward Finnish commenting.) But I can say, my food supplies were over the top.

I mean, when thinking what kind of stuff I had in my kitchen.

Hey sweeties,

How's your weekend? ♥

I originally planned to post on Friday, but my work/school kinda overwhelmed me so... I'm here now. ;)

So, I had an exam on Friday, and I feel it went okay - hopefully passing, that is. :D And after that, a work shift - then heading kind of straight to bed so that I got myself up on Saturday morning to get ready for Pori, once again. We were visiting our good friends, and besides hanging out, we headed to an ice-hockey game. What a great start for my week long break from school (which will be full of studying, but more on that later.)

My own team wasn't on the ice, so I cheered for the next best thing: My fiance´s favourite team, Porin Ässät. (And I had a make-up to match, as you will see later on this post...)

Here are some shots from the game, which aren't the best of quality, but I couldn't take the Sony inside the building without a press pass. (I assume.)

Hey beautiful people!

How are you doing today? ♥

I hope everything is fine with you, and that your week is great so far.

Mine is, though I have an exam on Friday - not happy about that - and fortunately after that a week long break - which I shall spend studying, blah. :D

So... Anyone else having problems with Bloglovin'? Because I signed in as usual to see what my favourite bloggers had written, and what to I get? "You have 581 unread posts"

What????

I never, hear that, never have that many unread ones. Not even when I can't post for 4 days. So that was strange. I thought it was just my account freaking out until Sherin told me others were having issues too. I really hope it gets fixed soon, as I'm an addict.

Just kidding.

Not.

Anyways, as much I would like to go on and on about everything, I just get to the outfit. (Because I need sleep so badly!)

ps: I'm trying to be more active with the Facebook page, so check it out every now and then to keep up with the stuff that don't make it to the posts ;) Also, I really love tweeting with you all, and have always my phone with me - so feel free to contact through Twitter any time you feel like it :) ♥

I used Mavala's stunning bright yellow shade number 68, called Sorrento. A perfect Spring/Summer shade, which combines well with many shades. I stamped pink hearts on top with the Konad set, and added shiny hearts on thumbs and ring fingers. Unfortunately I messed my left ring finger right after painting it, so I had to remove the whole art from it. And lazy as I am, I just added some transparent polish and sprinkled glitter on. I don't quite know if I like the effect or not, but at least, its different! :D

What are your thoughts?

(Oh, and sorry if the nails look messy, the macro shot is always so cruel :D)

Anyway, I hope you're all having a fantastic week, please comment - I'll be sure to get back to you as soon as I have time. (Plus, I'm kinda thinking of allowing the anonymous comments... What do you think about that?)

Have a fabulous week,

xoxo

Hey lovelies!

How are you all? ♥

It's been a crazy week, and that's the reason for the awfully long blog silence. I'm sorry! I've been wanting to post for the whole week and only now did I find the time to shoot some photos and write.

I don't exactly remember if I've told you, but we had this sales event at our school. We had worked for it for weeks and the few days before the event were pretty hectic. And so was the event. (I'm going to post the outfit from there later)

Today, I just wanted to let you know I'm alive and well, and trying to get back to blogging and commenting.

And I would like to start off by sharing three little things that made me happy today:




























Don't you love these pink jeans too? I'm really smitten with this colourful denim trend right now, as well as the lace & neon :) That's why today, I hit fabric and craft stores so that when the break starts after a week, I have the chance to make something cool for my wardrobe. ;)

What is your favourite trend this Spring?


I know this post falls a little short, but I'm unfortunately still a bit tired because of this week, and I really need to catch some sleep now. But, I'll be doing some cool manicure tomorrow to show you on the next outfit post. Fun, right?

Also, I want to thank you for your support and thoughts/comments despite my being away. Did you know that there's already 150 of you amazing readers! That's fantastic!

Another fantastic thing is that I have apparently gotten another amazing award - seriously, I never thought I should make a page for them but now I think I do... I'll get to that first thing tomorrow - as well as posting the award itself. But that's tomorrow.

Now, I'll watch the rest of my Glee episode (reliving the V-Day) and then crash.

Have an amazing weekend, everyone! ♥


Blog ya later!

Hello darlings,

How was your weekend? ♥

Mine was once again spent in Pori, with friends and (soon to be) family.

As I think I mentioned before, we were invited to my fiancé's child's Christening, and we were happy to go. Even though I refuse to be a mood kill, I had a feeling the party wouldn't be too fancy. I was right about that. We had to drive in some snowy desert in the middle of nowhere to reach the party, and the hospitality lacked so much. The people at the party didn't mingle at all, just ate with their own families and ate the food (which was good, I must say).

So, not really a heart-warming event, but at least it taught me how NOT to host one. So, not a lost case, but I felt sorry for the fresh father. He didn't look too happy with the setting, though was clearly happy about his young family. And after all, that's all that counts.

I tried to wear something - well, not conservative, but something like that - to the Christening, because even though we skipped the church part, we didn't know more than the father from the whole party. So, I tried to not make anyone upset because of what I wear. (Trust me, I seem to do that weekly, even though I dress appropriately, don't I?)

So, this is what I came up with:

















I was pretty happy with this look, though it's maybe not as much "me" as I would've hoped. Oh, well... I tried to work the dress with the metallic shades and my favourite pair of leggings, so that it'd make a nice look for a family party.

Do you think I pulled this off?

After the Christening, we had our friend's 22nd birthday to celebrate. It was a small party, where we just hang out watching videos and stuff, but I felt that as it was his birthday, it would be nice to doll up a bit and look good for the event.

So, I changed into this:

















I absolutely loved wearing this, that tunic is one of the best pieces in my wardrobe! It's easy to style both dressy and casual, and it's definitely versatile. Plus, I'm smitten about the asymmetry of it.

What do you think?

Now, my nails this weekend didn't really have much do to with the outfits, I just got inspired by Grace once again (Check out her blog, she's such an amazing young talent! ♥), and wanted to do this trendy half-and-half manicure. I had bought this amazing orange Mavala polish just last week, and wanted to give it a go:






Konad being used once again :D Base was Mavala, shades 67, Amsterdam, and 2, Madrid. (sorry for the dark photos, I just noticed - when uploading these - that the setting was wrong when taking these... God bless my fiancé, he hasn't yet got a clue about what's right for what :D)

Anyway, I hope you will all have a lovely start for your week!

(Oh, I have also some lovely news to tell, nothing big, but... I just need to take the time to write about it with thought ;))

Blog ya later!

xoxo
